Inward Bound courses

Many businesses send their employees on courses where they are supposed to demonstrate resourcefulness, learn teamwork and gain leadership skills through pursuing arduous physical challenges in difficult conditions. This may be valuable for shy employees who need to gain confidence in their abilities, but what about those who already enjoy leadership a bit too much? They are, after all, far more likely to lead their companies into disaster than those who have reservations about their own leadership. I suggest that alternative courses could take the over-confident, cocky, privately schooled fast-trackers and teach them humility. Rather than giving them the opportunity to parade around some bit of countryside congratulating themselves on having built a bivouac or crossed a river, these courses would help them to achieve a realistic estimate of their own worth as human beings. Smug employees would be placed in situations in which their oh-so-valuable skills, gym-honed muscles and latest-model mobile phones were of no value, and forced to contemplate the meaninglessness of their own existence. I'm not quite sure how this could best be achieved, though. Perhaps they could be made to tour every inch of the nearest military cemetery, or something?
